Cotterell Included In West Indies Test Squad

Uncapped left-arm fast bowler Sheldon Cotterell has been included in the West Indies' 15-man Test squad to tour India next month.

Subject to him passing a fitness Test ahead of the tour, he will join up with fellow fast bowlers Tino Best and Kemar Roach for the two matches which begin on 6th and 14th November.

Cotterell has played just 18 first-class matches, taking 40 wickets at 26.72 and enjoyed some success at the recent Caribbean Premier League, where he took nine wickets playing for the Antigua Hawksbills.

The West Indies have opted for a spin-heavy bowling attack with Veerasammy Permaul and Shane Shillingford as specialist spin bowlers backed up by Narsingh Deonarine, Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels.
